Here it is almost the end of April, and what is this with the weather!!!!!!!
   We only had 32' this morning, was 59 yesterday.
   We are so waiting to get outside and do some yard work, probably will say differently when the time does come, but come on Spring,  where are you??????
Don't have much to report right now, just waiting impatiently for spring.  We are working at the church food stand sale today, maybe that will help keep us busy.
It's not that we aren't busy, just want to do other things.
    Come on MOTHER NATURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   BRING US SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

   It's finally starting to look like spring around here, there is still a little snow in the piles, but the flat area's are disappearing, yah,yah!!!!!!

Everyone is soooooooooooo ready for spring around here!!!!

Want to wish everyone a HAPPY EASTER, ENJOY THE SPECIAL DAY!!!

We are having dinner here for around 18 people, looking forward to seeing everyone.

HAVE A BLESSED EASTER!!!!!!!

I was told I haven't blogged for a while.  Which is true!!!!!
I don't know where the time has gone, but here it is almost spring,(although I looks like winter right now.)
I am sure ready for spring!!!!!!!
We just got back from a trip to Virginia, visiting Jay's cousin.  Jay's brother and wife went with us. We had a good time.  It did rain everyday we traveled out, the rain just kept following us.
But the time we were out there it was really nice, in the 60's and 70's. We stayed with the cousins for a couple days, then headed out south to N. Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and then back to Iowa.
The trees were just starting to bud, there were some flowers out, and the birds were great to watch.
But on Sunday, the weather caught up with us again, and it rained, and rained. So we decided to head home, only to come upon SNOW, doesn't the season know it's going to be spring in two days!!!!!
We had a great trip, but also nice to get home.
Will try to keep up better with the blogging.  Everyone say a prayer for spring to come!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!
 It is a cold morning at our place this morning, 1' this morning. But the sun is shining.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Day. We feel really blessed on this special day, and we are really looking forward to next week-end when our family will be coming for our Christmas.
Take care and God Bless you all!!!!!!!!

Winter has come with a Bang!!!!!!!

Well, we knew it was going to come, and boy did it!!! It started snowing last night around 8 pm, kept up all
night, with the wind blowing 30-40 mph. This morning we have lots of drifts and can hardly see across the
road. Bryan did go to work at Unverferth, but not till afternoon shift, he didn't go into work at WalMart though. We went to town on Wed. and got our meds and groceries. So we are good to go. Don't plan to get out till tomorrow. In fact, we can't get out the south door, drift across it, but clear in front of the living room door.We have had 8-9 inches of snow and wind is still blowing 30-40mph yet.
Hope everyone if safe and warm.  Welcome to winter in Iowa!!!!!!!

Happenings in the family

After talking to my cousin, thought I'd better do a little blogging about the family happening.  We went to Kansas City this past week-end for the baptizim of little Beau Kennedy, it is always nice seeing the girls and baby Beau, also nice to see Jolyn and John.  It was so warm down there, 72', Jay and John went golfing in Dec. Jay had never done that before, so he was excited about that.
We had a nice Thanksgiving also, had 22 people here, such a nice day, in the upper 50's and lower 60's.
The kids played outside and had a good time.
I am just about done Christmas shopping, have the grandkids done, just got a  few other things to take care of. I like having it done early, now can enjoy other things. Want to do some baking for gifts and just to have on hand.
I will try to do a better job of blogging, Lisa!!!!  Love your blogs. Can't believe how cold it is up there. Stay warm. I am sure winter will come here also, but until it does, we will enjoy this nice weather.

Lisa, can't comment, but will comment on our blog.
